Evaluation of tissue oxygenation and block quality using Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) in patients undergoing ultrasound-guided infraclavicular block at different arm angles A prospective observational study.

CONCLUSION: It was demonstrated that tissue oxygenation increased with NIRS in the extremity subjected to blockade in patients who underwent a USG-guided infraclavicular block at different angles; however, different angles were not observed to affect tissue oxygenation. KEY WORDS: Near-infrared spectroscopy, Tissue oxygen saturation, Ultrasound, Infraclavicular block. PMID: 30946026 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
